Has anyone ever tried making them from scratch? Ive been curious lately, but just kept forgetting to search the net when I would sit in front of the computer. Well, I just got this month's Cooks Illustrated in the mail today and they had a recipe in there. While I tend to think that they can make a simple thing a little more difficult than it really can be, I love the magazine and love love the explainations they give. Anyway...I am asking about it because thier recipe called for a total of 27 table spoons of butter!!!!!!!!!!! Holy Paula Deen! I cant believe it. I plan to sit and explore other recipes soon, but I wanted to ask here. The recipe only made 22 croissants. That just seemed like a lot of butter. Maybe that is the key to them? I dont know. I need to read the article again, and better.

Isn't it funny that moms pass down dirty books to their daughters?
A few years ago I got my daughter a cook book stand with a clear plexiglass splatter shield.
I have heard a lot about the Pioneer Woman stuff, but have never seen her , doesn't she have a cooking show?
My mom changed a lot of recipes, and I loved that she wrote it down in her cook book, wish I had it but I'd afraid it's lost now. She'd use a basic recipe, and change it up, writing down the chagnes in the cook book. I've actually done the same things with a few of mine. I would like to get some of my grandmother's recipes, but she will be 96 in May and I don't get to see her, she's across the state. I write sometimes, but an aunt has to read the letters to her, and I don't know how much she really understands.

Let the family know that you are interested in her cookbooks, recipe files, anything like that, that may be unclaimed after she passes on.
